hello all. i just picked up two 100 Gallon terrariums. i would like to add to to my BP collection. just the one i have but those tanks are way to big. i dont know what tp get...

[Shaun J]

None. Whatever you get is going to be too big for that tank to fit. You will need to put MUCH time and effort into keeping one of these snakes, and it will be wise on your part to have about 2 other people keeping theis snake with you.

get a wild boar

[Smulkin]

What kind of terrariums are they and what kind of dimensions are we talking here?

[wildlifewarrior]

get a wild boar

or a pigmy elephant. LOL jk, both types of snakes get BIG over time. You would def need more than one person to move them for cleaning etc. a 100 gal also would eventually become too small for either one in about 5 years or so in my opinion

[jbo901]

Do you know anything about Anacondas or Bermese Pythons? A

[stangs13]

NEITHER. Stay away from them. How about putting somre nice fish in it?!

[JLC]

Maybe an RTB?

i have researched burms for some time now. Also i know with a snake that can reach such a large size i will need people around to help.i just wanted to see what kind of responds i would get back, i just need to here everyones advice, because i think i know a lot. thanks all. i love this forum, always good advice from here... i always ask many questions because im a BP nub... like they say a closed mouth dosent get fed.

With ANY snake.....a 100 gallon will be huge for a young specimen. So if you were to get a snake to put directly in the 100 gallon....you would have to purchase something that could handle the larger enclosure.

Maybe an RTB?

That is an great idea Judy. Red tails are a great 'step up' from smaller snakes and do not get anywhere close to the size of a burm. They are great animals too
